Singlet oxygen generation ability of squarylium cyanine dyes
نویسندگان
چکیده
The quantum yields for singlet oxygen generation of several squarylium cyanine dyes derived from benzothiazole, benzoselenazole and quinoline, displaying absorption within the so-called “phototherapeutic window” (600–1000 nm), were determined, envisioning their potential usefulness for photodynamic therapy (PDT). The determination was performed by a direct method measuring the luminescence decay of the dyes in the near infrared. Considering the absorption and the quantum yields displayed by some of the dyes, these seemed to be potential candidates as sensitizers for PDT. © 2003 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Synthesis and Spectral Characteristics of Some Highly Soluble Squarylium Cyanine Dyes
The synthesis of eight novel squarylium cyanine dyes is described. The dyes exhibit high solubility in organic solvents due to the introduction of the 1-sulfonatopropyl group onto the N-atom of the indolenine moiety. The condensation of the indolenine with squaric acid preceded smoothly, the reaction being catalyzed by a weak base. Spectral parameters of the dyes were correlated with the nature...

In this paper, 2,3,3-trimethyl-3H-indolin was synthesized by phenylhydrazine and 3-methyl-2-butanone as raw materials in the acetic acid reacted with different nitrogenalkylating reagents. Semi mono-cyanine dye and semi dicyanine dye were prepared with the help of squaric acid diethyl ester. The spectral properties of the target products were checked. The results show that compared with symmetr...

Previous reports from our laboratory have shown that a bifunctional agent obtained by conjugating a photosensitizer (HPPH) to a cyanine dye (CD) can be used for fluorescence image-guided treatment of tumor by photodynamic therapy (PDT). However, the resulting HPPH-CD conjugate showed a significant difference between the tumor-imaging and therapeutic doses. It was demonstrated that the singlet o...
متن کاملNoncovalent labeling of biomolecules with red and near- infrared dyes.
Biopolymers such as proteins and nucleic acids can be labeled with a fluorescent marker to allow for their detection. Covalent labeling is achieved by the reaction of an appropriately functionalized dye marker with a reactive group on a biomolecule. The recent trend, however, is the use of noncovalent labeling that results from strong hydrophobic and/or ionic interactions between the marker and...
